Located along
the southwest portion of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa, Arizona,
SkyBridge Arizona is slated to become a first-of-its-kind Unified Cargo Processing
(UCP) facility, allowing users to complete on-site cargo inspections and
processing so that shipments between the U.S. and Mexico can be expedited
directly to their destinations in Mexico.“We have
designed and are developing SkyBridge Arizona for the unique needs of those
operating in the aviation, air cargo, e-commerce, manufacturing and defense
sectors,” said Ariel Picker, President of SkyBridge Arizona and SkyPlus
Development.
“The tenants who now occupy our SkyBridge buildings 106 and 107 are
representative of those sectors. That is gratifying to watch come to fruition,
and a positive indication of what lies ahead for this unique development.”

Like Building
109, Building 108 will offer 32’ clear height, a 7” reinforced slab on 4”
AMC, 30 dock-high and six ground-level doors, and generous power and parking.
The building is divisible, allowing it to serve a wide range of tenant types
and sizes.
When complete,
SkyBridge Arizona will span 1.3 million square feet of aeronautical
development, almost 2.2 million square feet of non-aeronautical development and
270,000 square feet of commercial retail and office development.
“The product
mix at SkyBridge Arizona is in line with the current demand trajectory of the
Mesa Gateway submarket,” said Rusty Martin, Graycor Construction
Company’s Southwest Division General Manager.

“We are pleased to continue our
partnership with SkyBridge Arizona by bringing the next phase of this
one-of-a-kind resource to the East Valley, the state and the region.”
At SkyBridge
Arizona, Graycor has already completed an 82,500-square-foot, Class A hangar
building including office space and four bays to accommodate aircraft as large
as a G650 business jet.

It has also completed a 52,000-square-foot
flex industrial building with 24’ clear height, storefront entries,
administrative offices, conference and break areas, and a warehouse component
with up to four docks. Both buildings are fully leased to Gulfstream and Top
Aces.
SkyBridge
continues to pursue end-users with a focus on aeronautical and industrial
requirements, in conjunction with economic development teams from the City of
Mesa and State of Arizona.
